807: Google's Shopping Link

After depending on Google's Shopping for so long, I just knew that it may not or always do not bring you results Google can find on the internet for what you are looking to buy, if they are not sponsored. The notion of mixing what supposed to be providing information purely on the value of that information like what Google itself is supposedly doing, with something pushing that to secondary role like its Shopping link on the same page was far from me. I took the Shopping link as a focus of the search service provided by Google, on a specific category, not different kind of service. Should one also expect that, for example, Google's maps also may not show paths based on their quality first? With such situations something indicating a different kind of service is probably needed with the link on the main page and not just with the results when Google says that the shopping results were sponsored on the results page. Although to be fair, I doubt that this has not been a common behaviour among search engines in general.
